Fresh off the success of the NBA All-Star game, a bull riding competition and a monster truck event, Jerry Jones is now ready to throw some water and ice on the floor at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

Jones said he looking at hosting some Olympic qualifying swimming meets at the stadium and has already talked to the NHL about hosting a hockey game there.

Jones said for swimming they would build the pools in the floor of the stadium.

“Now that’s ambitious, but that’s something we’re looking at but I think it would be a tremendous draw," Jones said.

Jones acknowledged he has exchanged text messages with Mavericks owner Mark Cuban about hosting a regular season basketball game at Cowboys Stadium based on the success of the all-star game. Now he is ready for the next frontier _ NHL hockey. "

That’s a consideration given the fact they do the outdoor," Jones said. "We could obviously do something like that. We’ve had communication with the NHL.’’
